The indicator icon is lost in Ubuntu 14.04 in 0.6.3 version #113

Hi Simon!

After updating to 0.6.3 version in Ubuntu 14.04, the indicator icon changed into a question mark.

I found at indicator.vala @ line 87 that the icon is tried to be loaded from the "resources" directory (that didn't exist in my pc). It might be a regression from commit (force full path for appindicator icon) 528443135a180b098dd1ce913f98369a1c4c43c0.

I manually copied "gnome-pie-symbolic.svg" to /usr/bin/resources and the icon was back. I also recompile the code from source and the same happened: I have to copy the icon to /usr/local/bin/resources to solve the issue ("make install" put the icon in "hicolor" icon directory).

Best regards, Gabriel

Oh, I see. The icon was in this directory on my system due to previous tests. I'll fix this asap. Thank you!

As of commit e7b62fec0166fae5bb433c78c7d4237c81f592e4 it should work again. Can you confirm this?

I'm wondering whether Gnome-Pie should have a status icon in future. Gtk.StatusIcon is deprecated (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734826), and Gnome Shell will have no message tray at all. AppIndicators are Ubuntu-only. This fragmentation is aweful...

Yes, now works again! BTW, I'm using Numix-circle icons and the Numix version of the icon has return to the notification area.

You are write about fragmentation. One of the biggest problems I see with having so many desktops in Linux. I once added a context menu for the pies in the launcher (to edit that pie directly) and came across this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1242255 so I removed it. Unity is going to be completely replaced with version 8 so no much love is going to version 7....
